Healthcare IT Service Management Platform

line 111 (stroke) CASE STUDY DETAILS

Windy City Health

Windy City Health is a 50-hospital healthcare network serving the Chicago metropolitan area with over 15,000 employees and 200+ IT staff across four support teams. The organization needed a centralized IT Service Management platform to replace fragmented, manual processes that were directly impacting patient care and clinical system uptime.

We led the end-to-end implementation — from organizational design and data architecture through module configuration, workflow automation, and executive reporting — delivering a fully operational ITSM solution on ServiceNow that now serves as the single system of record for all IT operations across the network.
